Self

Self Hall, on the north end of the complex that includes Oswald Hall, Daisy Hill Commons and Self Hall, is named for Madison "Al" and Lila Self. Its rooms include two- and four-person suites, and private bedroom with shared bath. Self is part of the freshman-focused Daisy Hill and is reserved for newly admitted freshman only.

The donations by the Self family totals $106 million and have supported students in the STEM disciplines, business and economics. “The generosity of Al and Lila Self and Charley Oswald has truly changed the fabric of our university and enhanced the lives of countless students and faculty. It is only fitting that their generosity be remembered through buildings that will house future generations of Jayhawks as they begin their lives on Mount Oread,” said Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
